More than 250 Catholic schools serve the counties of the Greater Los Angeles Region. The tradition of Catholic education in the United States can be traced back to the 1600s. The Church in Los Angeles opened its first schools in the 1850s. Catholic schools equip students to follow in the footsteps of the saints and take the redeeming message of the Gospel into the world – in every profession, every household, every neighborhood and across social classes.
